do everything proper in that regard. charles: we are finishing up and watching president obama. we want to get back in touch with you. liz mcdonald, thank you very much. >> i want everybody -- everybody all lined up? member of congress -- to begin with, i just want to say thank you to the outstanding officials behind me who have been on the ground, working 24/7 since this flood happened. it begins with outstanding leadership from the top, john or diminish governor john edward that we appreciate the outstanding work he has done, his better half for the first lady of louisiana has been by his side every step of the way and we are grateful for her. they have their own cleaning up

to do, because the governor's mansion was flooded as well. i want to acknowledge senator bill cassidy, senator david vedder, representative gary graves, frederick richmond, the mayor of baton rouge, somebody i can't brag enough about, one of the best hunters i made as president, administrator of fema who has done such an outstanding job not just dealing with this particular incident but rebuilt fema, so that there is a change of culture. and everybody knows that when a disaster happens fema is going to be on the ground cooperating with state and local officials rapidly and with attention to detail and keeping the families who have been affected uppermost

in their minds. we appreciate that. it is hard for craig to be here because he is a florida gator and he has been seeing a lot of su t-shirts. i had a chance to see some of the damage in louisiana. i come first and foremost to say who lost loved ones. we are heartbroken by the loss of life. there are also people who are still desperately trying to track down friends and family. we're keeping helping them in every way we can. as, i think anybody who can see, just the streets, much less the inside of the homes here, people's lives have been upended by this flood. local businesses have suffered some terrible damage. families in some cases have lost homes. they have certainly lost possessions, priceless

keepsakes. i was just speaking to a young woman who, whose husband died shortly after the birth of her second child and she is talking about how her daughter was trying to gather all the keepsakes that she had in her bedroom, that reminded her of her father. that gives you some sense, this is not just about property damage. this is about people's roots. you also have the situation where there are a lot of kids who were supposed to start a new school year and they're going to need some special help and support for a while. sometimes, when these kinds of things can happen, it can seem too much to bear. what i want the people of louisiana to know, you're not alone on this. even after tv cameras leave, the whole country is going to continue to support you and help you until we get folks back in

their homes and lives are rebuilt. and the reason i can say that with confidence is because that's what americans do in times like this. i saw it when i visited displaced louisianaians when he came down here as a senator after katrina. i saw it when i visited the new orleans for the 10th anniversary last year. i know how resilient the people of louisiana are, and i know that you will rebuild again. and what i have seen today proves it. i want to thank all of the first-responders, the national guard, all the good neighbors, who were in a boat going around and making sure people were safe, showing extraordinary heroism, in some cases risking their own lives. governor edwards, the state of louisiana, the city, the parish government, they have all stepped up under incredibly difficult circumstance. you know, i just want to thank

the people on this block. as i was walking down, one woman, at the end, elderly, she was on her own. she just lost her daughter. you had a young man next door helping out his father but also offered to help out that neighbor. so that she could salvage as much as she could and start the process of rebuilding. with respect to the fed he ral response over a week ago i directed the federal government to mobilize and do everything we could to help. fema administrator craig fugate arrived here a week ago to help leave that effort. secretary of homeland security jeh johnson visited last week to make sure state and local officials are getting what they need. to give you a sense of the magnitude of the situation here, more than 100,000 people applied for federal assistance so far. as of today, federal support has reached $127 million. that is for help like temporary

rental assistance, essential home repairs and flood insurance payments. fema is also working with louisiana around the clock to help people displaced by floods find temporary housing. any louisiana family that needs help, you can find your nearest disaster recovery center by visiting fema.gov, or calling 1-800-621-fema. i will repeat that. fema.gov or one 800-621-fema. federal assistance will not be enough to make people's lives whole again. i'm asking you what you can do to help get local families and businesses on their feet. if you want to help, if you want to help, governor edwards put ways to start at volunteerlouis.gov. that is volunteerlouisiana.gov. the reason this is important,

federal money moving out, volunteer help actually helps the state because it can offset some of its costs. obviously private donations are going to be extremely important as well. we want to thank the red cross for everything they're doing. there are a lot of private philanthropic organization, churches, parishes around the state and around the country who want to help as well. that is how we're going to make sure that everybody is able to get back on their feet. so, let me just remind folks, sometimes once the floodwaters pass, people's attention spans pass. this is not a one-off. this is not a photo-op issue. this is how do you make sure that a month from now, three months from now, six months from now, people still are getting help they need. i need all americans to stay focused on this.

if you're watching this today, make sure that you find out how you can help. you can go to volunteers louisiana.gov. or you can go to fema.governor. we'll tell you, we'll direct you. you can go to whitehouse.gov. we'll direct you how you can help. we need to stay on this these are good people down here. we're glad families i had a chance to meet are safe, but they have got a lot of work to do. they should be have to do it alone. all right? thank you very much, everybody. god bless. >> thank you, mr. president. trish: that is the president addressing media after touring flood ravaged louisiana. let's listen back in to take questions from reporters. >> the stafford act provides a certain match. a lot of homes have flood insurance but a lot of homes don't. and what craig fugate is doing, what i instructed him to do from the start is let's get money out

as fast as we can because we know that there is going to be a certain amount of assistance that will be forthcoming. there is no point in waiting. we got to make initial estimates and we start pushing stuff out. that helps us and helps the governor and all these officials here do their jobs. and then what we have to do is, as we fine tune exactly what's needed, when we know, for example, how much permanent housing will have to be built, when we have a better sense of how much infrastructure has been damaged, what more we need to do in terms of mitigation strategies, that is when congress i think may be called upon to do some more. now the good news is, that you got four members of congress right here, and a number of them happen to be in the majority. i suspect that they may be able to talk to the speaker and talk to mitch mcconnell, but, the, in part because of the fine

stewardship at fema and frankly we, because we've been a little lucky so far, i will knock on some wood in terms of amount of money has gone out this year, fema has enough money for now to cover costs that can be absorbed. the issue will be less, what we need to do in terms of paying for the short term, it is going to be medium term an long term rebuilding. congress should be in back in session right after labor day. by that time we'll probably have better assessment. meantime, lawyers at fema will be examining what statutory flexibility we've got, and i know the governor has been on top of making sure that louisiana gets everything it can get in order to help rebuild. >> mr. president, do you worry about -- politicized and this trip here becoming politicized? >> no, i don't. first of all one of the benefits being five months short of leaving here i don't worry too much about politics.

the second thing i have seen, historically, is that when disaster strikes, that is probably one of the few times where washington tends not to get political. you know, i guarranty you, nobody on this block, none of those first-responders, nobody gives a hoot whether you're democrat or republican, what they care about is, making sure they're getting drywall out and carpet out and there is not any mold building. they get some contractors in here and start rebuilding quick as possible. that is what they care about. that is what i care about. so, we want to make sure we do it right. we want to make sure we do it systematically. but, the one thing i just want to repeat, is, how proud i am of fema, because if you think about the number of significant natural disasters that occurred since my presidency began, you would be hard-pressed to find a

local official anywhere in the country, including those in the other party, who wouldn't say that craig fugate and his team have been anything less than exemplary and professional. one of the things i did, when i walked through each much these homes was ask, have you contacted fema? have you filed? uniformly they said that they had been in touch with fema. they had acted professionally. some of them already had been out here for inspections. i think that does indicate why it's important for us to take the federal government seriously, federal workers seriously. there is a tendency sometimes to bash them and to think they're these faceless bureaucrats but, when you get into trouble, you want somebody who knows what they're doing, who is on the ground, working with outstanding

officials and that's true whatever party. and i could not be prouder of the work that fema has done. that doesn't mean that there aren't going to still be folks who need more help, that we'll not have some constraints statutorily, and congress isn't going to have to step up, but that means the basic backbone and infrastructure and architecture in terms of disaster response has been high quality. i'm very proud of them for that, and i want to publicly acknowledge that at the moment. all right. thank you, guys. trish: all right. the president, looks like he did decide to take a couple questions there, regarding the flooding there in louisiana. he touted the success as he sees it of fema thus far. here with more on all of this, because let's not forget that the president did come under a lot of criticism for staying on vacation and not being there in louisiana earlier, i want to go to fox news contributor jehmu greene, and american majority ceo ned ryan. ned, was he able to make up for not being there last week by

being there today on the ground? >> well, i guess you could say better late than never, although he did seem, it seemed very odd to me, trish, he seemed to be checking the box, going through the motions. he was talking about people really need to focus on this. well, i'm glad mr. president you can focus now that you're done with martha's vineyard and golfing and hillary's fund-raiser. what is interesting, remember back in 2005 when katrina hit, where obama was ripping into bush for his slow response to katrina. here we have him refusing to leave vacation and martha's vineyard. finally getting down there. juxtapose it against trump. let's remember what trump and pence did last week, the praise they got from landrieu and governor edwards, coming down, being of help, shining a spotlight what is taking place. leadership goes to the front lines when disaster strikes and trump and pence did excellent job saying we'll be down there

and helpful and immediately respond and trump made a significant charitable donation to one. churches helping people displaced by the flood. trish: one ever benefits having five months left you don't have to care about politics. >> that is part of it. trish: doesn't necessarily need to be political at this point. he is president of the united states. disaster struck the area, 106,000 people applied for fema assistance, president was off on vacation. hillary clinton quite literally phoned it in. she called down to louisiana to express her concern. should she have taken this a little more seriously in your view? >> i certainly think she took it seriously when she directed her supporters to distribute to efforts to help the victims down there, but look, we just heard the ticking off of all of the republican talking points about this situation. i think what was so great about the president's remarks is that the woman down the street who was getting the help of her neighbor, first-responders,

they're not looking at this politically. i think when we get into the weeds of, only the politics of this situation, that custodies service to us. when we have disaster in this country, when we are hit by a terrorist attack, politics are supposed to be aside, and certainly the president's point about how much fema has changed since katrina, improvements, the way government works. trish: that is what i want wanted to get to. i think we shouldn't get political times of in natural disaster. however, jehmu this, is the guy that turned katrina into political event it really was? >> he did. trish: ned, he was down there saying the president should have done so much more. >> that's right. trish: and perhaps, in some ways this was a bit of a victory lap for him, because he is saying fema doing a good job, doing a good job. fema came under a lot of criticism for not doing a good job back during the days of katrina. >> trish, i thing interesting

too, back in 2005, the media just ripped and raked bush over the coals. let's have little objectivity here, if you treat bush that way, treat obama did. he was slow responding. took time to go to hilary's fund-raiser and finally got down to louisiana. i think it is interesting hillary has not shown up. she phoned it in and effort to louisiana. take many some of foundation money and send it down to the victims. trish: foundation money. you had to go there. >> i couldn't resist, i'm sorry. trish: look, a lot of, a lot of scrutiny will be put on this foundation. >> yeah. trish: jehmu, i like you to address this here. you're very much a proponent of hillary clinton. i guess the question i have, why is it they're saying now she wouldn't, the foundation would not continue to exist if she were president? why did it in that case exist as secretary of state? >> i'll tell you why. i've had the honor of traveling with the clinton foundation to

rwanda, to ethiopia, to senegal. i have seen first-hand babies that are receiving hiv/aids medication because of the work of the clinton foundation. and i think it is very convenient for ned to make a joke about oh, why doesn't the clinton foundation send money down there. trish: i know what you're saying. wonderful foundation and has many good charitable -- >> has incredible impact. trish: one, it is not clear they're sending majority of their money to charity. at looks from the financial records a lot of money is going to overhead. >> it is going to operating costs because it is operating foundation and we can not, i'm sorry -- trish: hang on, here is my question. i have not given the question. >> i'm uncomfortable people sitting here in my family, everyone will die because of clinton foundation. >> no, no. >> that is a fact. that is a fact. you're comfortable with people dying because -- trish: can i ask a question. why does she not want it to exist if she becomes president

of the united states? >> it does not she doesn't want to exist, we live in complete political culture with the media where something good, something that was applauded, a public/private government partnership that was actually fixing problems in this world, when it was good before she was running for president, has now come under scrutiny because of the likes of liars on the donald trump campaign. that is a -- [. trish: hang on, ned. >> it will now go away an more people will die because of it. trish: so a federal judge, suppose he or she has stock in a company, i come from a business background obviously, this is something, that i have seen happen. they do when that case company, comes before him or her? they have to recuse themselves from that case. they can not give a decision on that case. you know why, jehmu? it is the appearance of conflict. it is appearance of, even if they don't do anything bad at all, we need as americans to be

able to hold our own justices it higher standards just as we our own lawmakers. so hillary clinton, as secretary of state, the problem here, you see, even if she is doing all the good in the world -- >> it is appearance of. i agree with you. but what my point is -- >> appearance doesn't take away from the good. that first-hand something i think we should -- trish: okay. listen. >> the appearance. so good-bye to hiv-aids medication. good buy to malaria head midcations. good-bye to decreasing obesity in united states of america because of the appearance. trish: assume that hillary clinton is a very smart woman, right, ned? she is smart woman. she would have known that the am appearance of this would not a good thing. we also know that she is an ambitious woman. that wanted to some day run for president of the united states. so why is it, as smart as she is, that she was willing to allow this to happen, knowing

that she was going to run for president of the united states? >> that's a great question. again, if something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it ends up usually being a duck. we have to see where this all goes. when you have the u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york looking into possible corruption charges into the clinton foundation, not only in new york, but there is potential but also something taking place in little rock and washington, d.c., as well, there is enough -- >> presidential library. now the clintons are not supposed to have a presidential library. the level of double-standards and scrutiny is ridiculous. where are his tax returns? trish: lit ned talk. >> i think the thing that is interesting too, the irony of bill clinton saying should hillary be elected president we'll no longer accept foreign donations. here is a thought. why don't you return every single cent and dime of foreign donations to show that you're serious. they're saying one thing. their actions are showing another. again the judge just yesterday said, the state department has

to decide by september 23rd on its timeline releasing 15,000 documents which again, regardless how this looks, or what actually takes place, what will result in very awkward situation going into elections for hillary to try to explain what was taking place between the clinton foundation and while she was secretary of state. trish: i think you hit nail on the head. thank you so much. jehmu, ned. >> thanks, trish. some say it's a calling. some say they lost someone they loved. many say it's to save lives, as many and as often as possible. there's a hundred reasons why someone becomes a doctor. but at md anderson, it's because there's nothing,

and we mean nothing, we won't do in making cancer history.

trish: donald trump, taking a page from hillary clinton's book, letting his opponent dominate the news cycle with her own negative headlines this week. reports today he canceling a series of campaign events in nevada, colorado, and in oregon. during that time he is is also expected to be working on fine-tuning his stance on immigration before delivering a major policy speech on the subject. joining me right now, gop pollster lee carter. good to see you. is this the strategy here? he is saying things are bad enough for hillary clinton this week with the whole concern about clinton foundation, i will

ride that wave and come back when it is safe to surface? >> well, i think it's a smart strategy right now because he hasn't really shown a whole lot of self-restraint when he is out there communicating lately. one of the things, he has gotten himself into trouble, and media attention going on to him, rather than all the things going on with hillary clinton. he is wise to take a few days. let the attention go on to the 15,000 emails. let all the come out. media talk about that. they are talking a lot what is going on with louisiana, with the president too late to get there. what is going on with hillary clinton, why wasn't she there. all of this is smart and allowing him to reconnect with the campaign staff now that he has a new team. he will give another important policy speech. these policy speeches he has been giving are very, very strong. trish: i agree with you. there is lot of policy packed into them despite criticism he is not giving in terms of facts and figures in ways and means to accomplish things. back it idea, okay, you let this

breathe a little bit. the media is on to the clinton foundation. they are starting to ask questions fairly need to be asked about it. is that perhaps what he was missing earlier on? it seemed as though just kept coming out and going and going and going, and instead of the media going after clinton for whatever headlines she was in the news for on that given week that given day, he was then effectively stealing thunder. stealing spotlight, and it wasn't always positive? >> this, i think it is a big shift. i think that most of the campaign he did a very good job of owning the media time and attention. there were certain times where he needed to pause and not do anything. that was right after the convention when hillary clinton had interview with chris wallace and she misrepresented what was said about her. all the stories coming out, really negative, no one was paying attention to that because he was off talking about the khan family. he was talking about other things making him look bad when attention was away.

right now he is doing exactly what he needs to do. keep his mouth shut. let attention be where it needs to be right now. so people pay attention to make up their own minds what is going on with hillary clinton. should they trust her? there is something people should focus on right now, it is important aspect. do you trust the person that will run the country. trish: look, we've seen all the polling data, shows, people don't trust her. over to immigration for a moment. said she is working on fine-tuning his policy obviously this is pretty significant. he needs tock extraordinarily measured, articulate when he comes out with this policy. reality is a lot of americans are fed up with the lack of security among our borders, but there are also some hard-working people here that are, you know, doing their best to get by. trying to be, trying to be successful in this country. it sounds as though, and, i don't know. but it sounds as though from

what i'm reading thus far, he is trying to find a way, to sort of say, okay, let's sort of keep the good, out with the bad. is that what he is actually going to try and do? if so, is that going to fly with voters? >> you know, i think that immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of this election. and so the way that he communicates about this, the way he puts it all together whether or not people accept him as mom one who is not racist. someone realistic what needs to be happening right now. i think that he could come down and say, look, we're going to modify the original plans based on a number of things. he can talk more like a business, that he is making negotiations. he understands there are certain things that need to happen. we need to focus on keeping good, out with the bad. i think he will be able to do it, do it effectively without losing core base if he communicates the right way.

trish: amazing to see. lee, thank you so much. good to have you here. >> anytime. great to be here. trish: hillary clinton taking a break from the campaign trail again today. that is not stopping her from writing a web post how she will be a champion of small business owners but will this tactic prove that donald trump isn't the only pro-business candidate as she is trying to suggest? maybe, maybe not. that is next. we have a panel weighing in. go . (howard stern on radio) welcome to show business. (announcer vo) or you can hear the rest of howard. bababooey! (announcer vo) sorry, confused neighbors, howard's on. siriusxm. road happy.

. trish: hillary clinton laying out her plan to jump-start the small business economy, proposing new tax deductions and incentives to get america's small businesses back on track. joining me trump economic adviser steve moore along with john raleigh. john, start with you. what kind of tax breaks is she thinking of, and how small a business do you have to be to get it? >> i think it's a brilliant move to focus on small business for hillary clinton. i mean, when you think about this whether it's economically or politically, you know, small business owners are a good base, it's a swing base, an independent part of the party and also -- you. >> haven't told me how much the tax cut is going to be. hillary clinton hasn't told us what the tax cut is going to be. she hasn't told us what tax bracket she wants to tax people at because there are no details! how small for small business. >> it is going to be incentive

for small business and innovation, from a political standpoint it's good because entrepreneurs when you think about the tech sector and high-growth sector, they don't have connection with the trump and tea party weighing. trish: it cracks me up, just in fairness now, i'm playing fair and square, the mean stream media has gone after donald trump's programs over and over again, his policies, saying there aren't enough details. take a look at this one. streamline the process of starting a small business, improve access to financing, provide new tax relief and simplification, incentivize health care and ensure the federal government is more responsive. hypocritical, right? >> it's called pablum. the reason hillary is not pro small business, she wants to raise the rates. trish: what about she's going to provide new tax relief. hasn't told us what the tax

relief is and simplification? >> here's the problem, she wants to raise capital gains up to 45%. how are small businesses financed? a lot of them need to go to seed capitalists, provide the seed capital to put the money in. they will be much more risk averse to providing funding for the companies. second of all, donald trump's plan, you know, trish, is to cut business tax rate for every business, all 25 million small business women and men who start businesses 15,%. trish: by the way, let me point out, we know the rate. >> hillary went as high as 48%. trish: we know the rate. you said cut all tax rates to 15%. >> she's going to roll out her plan on thursday. this is a preview of the plan, let's wait and see. trish: wait a second. she rolled out economic plan, it included eight tax brackets but never bothered to say what the brackets would be. i don't know how you can run

for president and don't put the information forward. >> trump has a small business initiative. it is to screw contracts who are work for him, file bankruptcy and hundreds and hundreds of people lost their jobs and dozens lost businesses, we can't wait to put him on the rudder of our economy. trish: again, in all fairness, he rolled out a plan, it included 15% tax for all businesses. >> by the way, don't forget we also have the deregulation. hillary is pro regulation, all she attacked donald trump saying he wants to take away regulations. yes, we want to take away regulations because every time we've had meetings with small business owners, whether in manufacturing or retail or transportation, what they say is the regulations from washington under obama are killing them. name any regulation, one, that hillary wants to get rid of? i can't think of one. >> all kinds of things. trish: the red tape, she does say she wants to ensure that

the federal government is more responsive. she wants to improve access to financing. so in theory, she wants to cut back on some of the regulation that is making it so onerous for small businesses, but doesn't actually say it. >> for entrepreneurs and innovators they want someone forward looking and in the modern era. so much of what trump is talking about is backward looking policy. when you hear him talk about immigration which impacts business people and entrepreneurs in all rungs of the economy. trish: john, i want to stop you. i'm curious, what is a backward looking economic policy that you think is advanced by him. her policy is left of obamas, left of obama's that's her economic policy in an effort to bring in the bernie sanders supporters and unify the party. she has moved to the left of obama, and steve moore, you know, obamaommics has been an

utter failure when you look at the economy. >> look at stock market. trish: no, no, no! i love that one. 9 stock market! the stock market! the stock market, steve, should we credit obama with the stock market? or is that, in fact, just contributing to the income inequality that the left likes to talk about because the federal reserve has been the only game in town and deliberately kept interest rates as low as they have for a record number of weekis. >> can't wait to hear this answer. trish: benefitting people with capital. benefitting people with capital at the expense of the rest of america. >> the stock market has done well, no question about it. every other statistic on the economy that affect real middle-class people and small businesses has been a disaster. >> job growth hasn't been, what about job growth? >> let me give you one example. this is the first recovery we've seen as far as records go back where more small businesses have failed than have been started.

this is a president who says he's pro small business and getting more failures than startups. that's not a small business agenda. >> the bottom line is business people are scared to death. >> they are, terrified. >> because of the instability he would bring to the economy and the world markets. trish: i talk to a lot of business people. >> why did the national federation of independent business, they love our tax plan, trish. >> it's a republican organization. trish: i talk to a lot of business people and lot of ceos and they like what they hear when they hear less regulation and lower taxes unleash the prosperity in this country right now. >> hillary is the candidate of wall street and big business. >> good to sigh. we are following a breaking news story. possible isis related attack in our homeland. a virginia man taken into custody after he tried to behead one of his victims while

shouting "allahu akbar!." we have the chilling 911 call for you next. stay with me. [announcer] is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the summer of audi sales event is here. get up to a $5,000 bonus on select audi models.

. >> time for a check on the markets everyone. we are still in the green, off the highs of the session. s&p up 6 and nasdaq composite the best of all, up 4/10%. home building stocks rallying over new data showing a surprise jump in new home sales

for the month of july. shot up 12.4%. shares of tesla higher after elon musk tweeted that the company will announce a new product today. this is the thing he always does and we all get worked up about it. stock moves up higher, the movement is anticipated in less than 20 minutes. stay with fox business. we've got it for you. we'll be right back with the latest on a possible isis-related attack on our homeland. general keane is here in the house and he's going to weigh in. see you in two. what powers the digital world. communication.

that's why a cutting edge university counts on centurylink to keep their global campus connected. and why a pro football team chose us to deliver fiber-enabled broadband to more than 65,000 fans. and why a leading car brand counts on us to keep their dealer network streamlined and nimble.

businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. . >> one male patient with a neck laceration, there's a female with a leg laceration, she's the one they're applying to a tourniquet to. trish: the 911 call after a man in virginia attempted to behead one of his victims while yelli yelling allahu akbar. all signs point to terrorism. but the fbi says it's still too early to tell. meanwhile, our vice president saying in a magazine interview, quote, terrorism is not an existential threat to the united states. is this administration ever

willing to get serious the way we need to be on terror? joining me retired four-star general and fox news military analyst, general jack keane, welcome back. good to have you here. you know, we have seen many of the attacks in germany on trains there, stabbings. we've seen a stabbing of course in france as well, and happened in england, and now it looks as though it might have actually happened here at home in virginia. what do we need to be doing? how do you prevent this kind of stuff? >> this is very challenging because likely this individual is self-radicalized. his motivation clearly is isis or some radical islamic movement like that. and one of the problems i have -- you think it is, by the way? >> i think all the signs point to, it i'll wait for the fbi to tell us 100% with certainty about it. trish: when you are shouting

allahu akbar. >> in complete random and strangers. when you self-radicalize, you are doing in plain sight, in plain sight of who? friends, family, co-workers. in our family as a matter of policy, we don't name it as radical islam and we're not defining it to the american people. we don't dialogue about the signs, the symbols, the lexicons. trish: it is politically correct to do it, if somebody is immersed in islamic studies in such a way that might cause alarm, you would somehow be seen as islamophobic, right? >> right. the american people should be conversant with what the lexicon and language of the movement is. they would be accused that somebody moved from devotee of islam or moderate islamist to radicalized person. we have none of that education in our country.

that's something our leaders could truly be doing. i would help law enforcement tremendously. trish: this is in your view an ideology. some said wouldn't it be religious persecution if you single people out because of a particular religion, but you're steeg as ideology, once it reaches a certain point, so it's religion which is morphed into a political movement? >> it's absolutely an ideology, political and religious ideology that's rejected by an overwhelming majority of muslims to be sure. and because you're unwilling to define it as such, you generalize it and stigmattize all of muslims. that's where the islamophobia comes in, there's a generalization as opposed to being specific who is this, what is it, and what should we do about it? trish: what about the muslim community in all of this? one would think, we have spoken

to many members of the muslim community, dr. zuhdi jasser calling for reform movement within islam. don't they need to go and basically knock on the president's door, bang if you have to and say listen, this is important for the sake of our religion that basically you admit what this is, and you help the american public guard against these warning signs? >> he relies on, i don't dispute the fact he did receive feedback from muslims who said we don't want to you name the religion and identify this religious ideology because that the stigmattize all of us. the majority of muslims that you talk to who are obviously not radicalized, they want to be separated from the radical movement and we should do, that and most importantly educate people about it. trish: hopefully it gets done, general. hopefully it gets done. thank you so much, general jack keane, everyone. we'll be right back. or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph,

could be cohesively one, you look at europe and the french are distinct from the italians and the italians are very distinct -- >> from the germans. trish: and different from the brits. >> thank goodness we're an island! >> do you think realistically these cultures -- >> never, it was never meant to be the united states of europe with brussels running everything with berlin pulling the strings, never meant to be that way. it was a sharing of goods, united front on the economic side of things, never politically. all supposed to come together. trish: how can they be without a political sort of oversight that makes it one? >> therein is the failure of the euro. trish: i've never understood this. never understood this. >> that's why the uk and sweden and denmark never wanted to use the euro. they knew it was doomed before it began. you have jean-claude juncker
